Chapter 943: Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo is the Mediterranean coast of Europe, southeast of France, there is a small country Principality of Monaco, the world is called the country of gambling, the country of pockets, the country of stamps.

The gambling industry of Monte Carlo, the wonders of the Oceanographic Museum, and the marriage of Princess Grace have all added many legends to this small ancient city.

Monte Carlo is also one of the most densely populated places in the world, and of course its symbol is the casino, which is the third largest casino in the world, with many large and small casinos, and the Grand Casino Monte-Carlo is the most famous of them.

The palatial Casino de Monte-Carlo, built in 1863, is an antique and majestic palace-like building, coupled with the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, so that visitors arrive at the door and immediately feel good.

The casino is almost equivalent to a small microcosm of Monte Carlo, whether you gamble or not, if you come to Monte Carlo and don't go to the casino, or try your luck, it is really a feeling of returning empty-handed.

As long as you place a small bet, look at the sound of chips moving on the table, and imagine that wealth will be pushed in front of you at some point, that experience and feeling is worth boasting about for future generations.

Jiang Chen doesn't have a bad habit of gambling, and he usually doesn't even buy lottery tickets, but when he comes here, he still wants to see what the Monte Carlo casino looks like, after all, he has seen these in movies and television, and he really hasn't seen it in reality.

In fact, there are casinos in Rome in Italy, and some players in the Napoli team often go to play when they are fine, but Jiang Chen has never been there.

Jiang Chen is also curious, but when he was in Italy, Jiang Chen put more of his mind on training and competitions, so he had the mind to go to the casino to play.

And today is different, Jiang Chen really didn't have anything too important to come to Monte Carlo, he just came to attend the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony and sit in the audience to watch the show.

It's not the first time Jiang Chen has come to Monte Carlo, but he has never been to the Monte Carlo Casino, and he used to be in a hurry because of the tight schedule.

Now it's different, finally there's time, and he wants to check it out.

When Mertens was in Italy, he often went to casinos to play, and this guy was very interested in this.

However, this guy is super self-controlled, every time this guy plays casually, he doesn't win or lose much, and the casino is a pastime for Mertens, not a fortune.

As for the casino in Monte Carlo, it is not the first time that Mertens has been there, almost every time he comes here, he has to go to the casino in Monte Carlo, and this time is naturally no exception, he made an appointment with Jiang Chen to go and play together.

Ancelotti knew very well about Monte Carlo, he knew what this place was.

They didn't want Jiang Chen and Mertens to go to that smoky place, so he asked his assistant to follow Mertens and Jiang Chen to watch these two guys.

Carlo Ancelotti's assistants followed Jiang Chen and Mertens to Monte Carlo, where they found a hotel booked by UEFA.

There are already a lot of media reporters and fans waiting here, and they are waiting for the stars to attend this event.

When they saw Jiang Chen and Mertens coming, they immediately hugged them, and the media reporters frantically took pictures of Jiang Chen and Mertens, while those fans excitedly shouted Jiang Chen's name and waved the huge photos in their hands.

Fortunately, the hotel's security personnel were very familiar with such a situation, and quickly resolved the crisis for Jiang Chen, Mertens and others, and Jiang Chen, Mertens and others entered the hotel and found their rooms.

They didn't stay in the room for long, Jiang Chen and Mertens found an excuse, slipped out of the back door of the hotel, and slipped to the Grand Casino de Monte Carlo.

Mertens was very familiar with this place, and this guy went straight to the Grand Casino of Monte Carlo.

Jiang Chen followed Mertens to the Monte Carlo Grand Casino, looking at this palace-like building from the outside, Jiang Chen was really a little surprised, he really didn't expect this casino to be like this.

In front of the gate of the Casino de Monte Carlo is a large square, there is a flower garden on the square, every grass and tree is trimmed neatly, flowers are in full bloom, colorful, there is a parking lot next to the park, and a palace-like building at the end of the park is the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino.

Jiang Chen followed Mertensden to the entrance, and outside the gate was a pair of guards guarding him.

Jiang Chen looked at these faces full of surprise, it seems that the security system here is very powerful, this place is really thoughtful.

While leading Jiang Chen, Mertens introduced to Jiang Chen: "According to the law here, natives are not allowed to gamble inside, only sightseeing tourists can be allowed to enter, tourists can become a member here for a day by paying ten francs with their passports, and only with this card can they enter." ”

Mertens had already handed over his and Jiang Chen's passports and exchanged them for a pass.

Mertens waved the pass in his hand to Jiang Chen, which meant that it was this card.

Jiang Chen took the pass and looked at it carefully, this Monte Carlo casino was really unusual.

At this time, Mertens led Jiang Chen into the Monte Carlo Grand Casino.

The interior of the casino is magnificent, with decorations and curtains on the walls, crystal lamps that sparkle like diamonds during the day, red carpets all over the place, and waiters in neat dresses, the atmosphere is extraordinary.

In addition, there is a large stage suitable for opera performances in the casino, and a door into a hall is the famous casino area.

Looking at all this, Jiang Chen was very interested, this place and the casinos in those movies are even more luxurious, and they are too real.

At this time, the casino was full of people, and all kinds of shouts were unconscious.

And there are waiters dressed in neat gifts shuttling inside, and there are some well-dressed women cruising here, these women have black skin, white skin, and of course yellow skin, especially there are many aunts from the East.

At this time, the Casino de Monte-Carlo is bustling with activity.

After entering, Mertens directly exchanged 1,000 francs in chips and was ready to try his luck.

However, Mertens did not forget Jiang Chen, he also exchanged a thousand francs for Jiang Chen, and he introduced the situation here to Jiang Chen while leading Jiang Chen.

"There's a lot of variety, almost every form of gambling in the world, but the Monte Carlo casino is still all about roulette, and roulette is the most popular," Mertens said. ”

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and said, "Why? Isn't poker the most popular? ”
